1:20 to 4:06
[Intro]
Yeah
[Verse 1]
I needed to hear that shit, I hate when you're submissive
Passive aggressive when we're texting, I feel the distance
I look around the peers that surround me, these niggas tripping
I like when money makes a difference, but don't make you different
Started realizing a couple places I could take it
I wanna get back to when I was that kid in the basement
I wanna take it deeper than money, pussy, vacation
And influence a generation that's lacking in patience
I've been dealing wit' my dad, speaking of lack of patience
Just me and my old man getting back to basics
We've been talking 'bout the future and time that he wasted
When he put that bottle down, girl, that nigga's amazing
Well, fuck it, we had a couple Coronas
We might've rolled a white paper, just some' da hold us
We even talked about chu and our couple of moments
He said, "We should hash it out like a couple of grownups"
You a flower child, beautiful child, I'm in your zone
Looking like you came from the 70s on your own
My mother is 66, and her favorite line da hit me with is:
"Who the fuck wants to be 70 and alone?"
Y'all-on't even know what chu want from love anymore
I search for something I'm missing and disappear when I'm bored
But, girl, what qualities was I looking for before?
Who ya settling for? Who better for you than The Boy, huh?
[Instrumental]
[Interlude]
Uh
[Verse 2]
Thinking 'bout Texas, back when Porscha used to work at Treasures
Or further back than that, before I had the Houston leverage
When I got Summer a Michael Kors with my mama's debit
A weak attempt at flexing, I'll never forget it
'Cause that night, I played her three songs
Then we get da talking about some' we disagreed on
Then she start telling me how I'll never be as big as Trey Songz
Boy, was she wrong
That was just negative energy for me da feed off
Now it's therapeutic blowing money in the Galleria
Or Beverly Center Macy's where I discovered Bria
Landmarks of the muses that inspired the music
When I could tell it was sincere without trying da prove it
The one that I needed was Courtney from Hooters on Peachtree
I've always been feeling like she was the piece to complete me
Now she engaged to be married, what's the rush on commitment?
Know we were going through some shit, name a couple that isn't?
Remember our talk at the parking lot at the Ritz?
Girl, I felt like we had it all planned out
I guess I fucked up the vision
Learning the true consequences of my selfish decisions
When you find out how I'm living, I just hope I'm forgiven
It seem like you-on't want this love anymore
I'm acting out in the open, it's hard for you to ignore
But, girl, what qualities was I looking for before?
Who ya settling for? Who better for you than The Boy, huh?
